Could you be more specific? What makes you think OFBiz likes Latin1 as
an encoding character set?
Its in the entity definitions on the SVN code.
As a random guess of the direction you're going: which database are
you using, is it MySQL?
Yes, MySQL.

I am looking at importing thousands of records from an existing

I note that OFBIZ seems to like to use Latin1 as its encoding charset.
When I load a generated XML file (created using webtools against a
tab delimited file), from the command line, it chokes on any accented
characters in names, etc. (Seems to work better through the form
interface)
If I move the tables to UTF8, do I break OFBIZ?
